Why Our Toddler Dance Class Matters

At Hot Styles Dance Company, we know that dance begins with joy. Our Creative Movement class helps young children explore how their bodies move, how to listen and follow simple instructions, and how to participate in a group setting—all through fun, age-appropriate activities.

​

💥 Just Right for Ages 2–3
Class is designed for toddlers who are new to dance and still learning the basics of coordination, listening, and group participation.

 

💥 Movement Through Imagination
Children move like animals, bounce to music, and explore rhythm through games, props, and pretend play.

 

💥 A Foundation for All Future Dance
Even though it feels like play, your child is building the balance, rhythm, and awareness they’ll need in ballet, tap, hip hop, and beyond.

What Will Your Child Learn?

In Creative Movement, we focus on helping your child build confidence and basic motor skills in a safe and engaging space. Each class gently introduces:

• Following simple directions in a structured environment

• Basic movement concepts: fast/slow, big/small, high/low

• Coordination and gross motor skills: hopping, skipping, spinning, balancing

• Listening, turn-taking, and group participation

• Joyful expression through music, props, and pretend play

 

Each class is filled with smiles, discovery, and those "I did it!" moments that toddlers—and parents—treasure.
